I fail to see this rain band heading for Cambridge on radar?

Looks like it's weakening now. Hopefully there's more behind it

Out chasing ATM, between huntingdon and Cambridge just off A14 watching an oncoming storm. No electrical stuff witnessed yet, but warm winds picking up as it gets closer

I do have to say that working in cambridge and living 10 miles from it, and only having a single 15 min infrequent storm this year, you can't stereotype all of the east. Stop whinging

how long before its forecast East Anglia gets storms this evening?

I can see that thing now on the rain radar. Is that a supercell? west of Nottinghamcos its circular and rotating. Bit worried about that because it reminds me of watching Stormchasers and they mention havign a hook? Heading NNE (or NNNNNE if such a thing)

well im back to cloud watching on http://www.sat24.com/gb and guessing where rain and cloud buildup is happening. cant see anything N Midlands, but can see clouds rotating just east of Bristol? Don't know if anyone knows what to look for in these cloud radars

Radars down again?!

im using Sat24, and guessing where rain maybe with cloud tops?!?! http://www.sat24.com/gb tonyh, i can kinda see what you mean over Coventry way looking at sat24 ok, i can see a line of convective clouds forming from pretty much lands end up through Bristol and onto Lincolnshire. the Lands End, errr, end seems to be a CZ (im learning)whereas the other end is stretching out and moving eastward.

Wish I'd stayed in St Ives now. Had to endure 5 minutes of large hail and no thunder, stuck in my car, hearing it getting dented, whilst bencambs and we1330? seem to have an awesome show!

I'm now stuck in the stick of Cambs, (Fen Drayton Lakes) with a flat battery (left my lights on, DUH!) with large hail. Great

OK, out in the sticks in Cambs on my 3 dongle. Lots of distant rumbling but no visible flashes, and I've noticed that even though these storms are moving NE, the low level cloud is moving SW. Is this because the storms are gathering strength?

aaah ok. well I'm planning on going up to Fen Drayton Lakes when the stuff round Portsouth gets just before Luton area. Maybe in about 1 hour. Can pretty much see wall to wall horizon!

Really? I hear nothing. Weird We abouts are you again, I'm kinda right in the middle, and up a bit (Burstellars)
